Another part of what that article demonstrates is just how far the Republican base has moved past the Tea Party "small government' beliefs of 2010. The three Holland MI manufacturers were unanimous in wanting government intervention in the economy. Two were upset because they expected the government intervention to help them and instead they are being harmed; one (the furniture guy) was sticking by his principles and admitting that, yes, Trump's economic strategy was hurting his business but it was for a greater good.

ok, and? you found three. congrats. if i were you i would be more concerned with how batshit left your party has gone and how quickly it happened.

Talent and Kapture demanded it. Here it is!

MOAR OCASIO-CORTEZ!!!!

Ed Rollins' decaying corpse calls OCR a "little girl", much to the delight of fellow rotting cadaver Lou Dobbs.

that idiot wants people to work for the federal government 70% of the year before getting paid in the name of climate justice.

I think my point was how far left YOUR party has moved since the Tea Party days. A huge portion of Trump's base isn't for limited government AT ALL. They DEMAND government intervention, they just want it to only benefit THEM. Trump's tariffs are the epitome of government intervention in markets and if you defend them, you're defending socialism.

Here's Sarah Sanders getting torn apart by Chris Wallace over Trump's lies concerning all the 'terrorists' we've caught coming into the US. Chris is right; the 3,000 number Trump and his droopy eyed sycophants continually cite were nearly all detained at airports, NOT crossing the border illegally, and they were detained solely because they came from countries with a 'history' of producing terrorists. Not because they were known to be terrorists themselves. It's a horseshit statistic used to scare people into believing a threat is much more serious than it really is.

defending socialism? lmao, you are a joke

Ocrazy Eyes Cortez wants a 70% federal tax for climate change and you say nothing about it. you just point your finger at three business owners like they represent all of Trump's voters and claim that all 50,000,000 of his voters are "defending socialism". i can not speak for the misguided assumptions of three business owners, we voted for less taxes and regulation, that is the "federal intervention" we expected and received.

Let's presume actually does declare a phony national emergency to build a wall. That effort would immediately be challenged in court as an unconstitutional attempt to circumvent (subvert) the Constitutionally mandated purse control by Congress. The Trumpian goo-gobblers will almost certainly counter argue that it is NOT an attempt to subvert but it is within the presidential authority to declare a national emergency. Are there any requirements/restrictions/guidelines that frame such a declaration? Or can 'national emergencies' be declared on a whim without basis in fact by unbalanced presidents?

[Ghengis Jon]

Declaration

NEA Section 201 authorizes the president to declare a national emergency. The proclamation of a national emergency must be immediately transmitted to Congress and published in the Federal Register. Under NEA Section 301, statutory emergency authorities enabled by the national emergency declaration cannot be exercised until the president specifies the provisions of law under which the president or other officials will act. Such specification may be made either in the declaration or in subsequent Executive Orders published in the Federal Register and transmitted to Congress.

Termination

A national emergency can be terminated if the president issues a proclamation or if Congress enacts a joint resolution terminating the emergency. A national emergency will terminate automatically upon the anniversary of the proclamation unless the president renews the proclamation by transmitting notice to Congress within a 90-day period prior to the anniversary date and publishing it in the Federal Register.

If he declares it will just be a nail in his coffin.

There is no difference in Obama picking and choosing energy companies to succeed and Trump picking and choosing which car companies should do well. "I want Ford and GM to be protected! America First!". That's relying on the government to pick and choose the winners. If Toyota puts out a better product at a cheaper cost, TOO BAD, they aren't American and we need to make sure only American companies come out on top. That's the kind of nationalist socialist intervention in thee economy that Republicans now rabidly support.

So yes, those of you jacking off to Trump's tariffs are supporters of socialism because you are wildly in favor of the government deciding which companies will do well and which need to be punished,. You have gone from "small government" to "government must protect and promote companies we like"

Tariffs ARE taxes. Tariffs ARE regulation of the economy.

What happened with Solyndra wasn't that different than what a VC fund does -- throw a bunch of money at a whole lot of things, and hope that one or two hits big. You expect a lot of losers. But this is just another example of holding the public-sector to an impossibly high standard whilst leaving a similar private-sector process unexamined and just assuming it runs efficiently.

Manufacturing is growing 714% FASTER under Trump than under 0bama.

so you will not address the 70% federal income tax proposed by Occasional Cortex to address Climate change?

not free college, not socialized health care, not paid maturity leave, not inner city investment, not education.... climate change. an issue that doesn't fall in the top 10 of issues people vote on.


where the fuck does the socialist get the money for the rest of their schemes with 70% for climate change??
